Scale

Creating the perfect Ham and Egg Breakfast Biscuit Sandwich requires the right ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

For the Filling:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices of ham (preferably thick-cut)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Cheese slices (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
  • Fresh spinach or arugula
  • Sliced avocado
  • Hot sauce or ketchup

Instructions

Now that you’ve gathered your ingredients, it’s time to prepare the sandwich. Follow these steps to ensure a deliciously satisfying breakfast:

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring until the dough comes together.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 30 seconds.
  6. Roll the dough to a 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds.
  7. Place the biscuit rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Cook the Ham and Eggs

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ham slices. Cook until crispy and slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add butter or oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich

  1. Slice the biscuits in half and place a slice of ham on the bottom half of each biscuit.
  2. Top the ham with a cooked egg.
  3. Add optional toppings like cheese, spinach, or avocado if desired.
  4. Place the other half of the biscuit on top to complete the sandwich.
